It was September 1992. Millions of snot faced skate – surfers worldwide were cracking a few brews in their bedrooms, on beaches and in their garages listening to one album…’Americas Least Wanted’ by Ugly Kid Joe. ‘Americas Least Wanted’ was a double platinum phenomenon selling over 2 Million albums catapulting Ugly Kid Joe to headlining Arenas and touring with the likes of Van Halen, Bon Jovi and Ozzy Osbourne.

Q&A Scene: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
Since forming in 2015 Perth natives Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have had a head spinningly busy 18 months.
Not only have the psyche rockers dropped two head rattling LP’s, ‘High Visceral’ Part One and Part Two to rave reviews “Entrancing, mind altering, and a breath of fresh air. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are revitalising the Psych Rock genre one riff at a time”. Happy “Truly brilliant, intricate guitar riffs, great percussion and mesmerising vocals 9/10.” Xpress. They have sold out both national tours and supported the likes of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Murlocs, Dune Rats, Black Mountain, and Skeggs.

Snap Scene: Dallas Frasca, Croxton Bandroom, Sat 9th Dec 2017
Don’t be mistaken, Dallas Frasca is a band and not just named after the lead singer. Like Blondie and PJ Harvey that came before them, it is clear that namesake front woman Dallas and guitarist Jeff Curran are the driving force of the Melbourne based trio, which other members rotate.
The unconventional songwriters are two guitars, vocals and a beast behind the kit. They fit somewhere in between blues riffed The Black Keys, and the incredible full-throated wail of Janis Joplin. Having no bass, the drums are integral to the sonic massive-ness that fits in-between the mechanical style riffs, their songs are catchy, huge and you can feel the truth in their tales.

Snap Scene: Storm The Sky, Corner Hotel, Friday 8th Dec 2017
Spending much of 2016 traversing the highways across Australia, supporting US heavyweights Pierce The Veil and The Used, Storm The Sky wowed those in the audience with Heavy Mag saying, “their live set is something that has to be witnessed first hand”, with Killyourstereo agreeing Storm The Sky have transformed into an incredible live experience: “the former-metalcore band have spread their wings and flown into the beautiful skies with a pop/post-hardcore/ambient rock fusion”.

Q&A Scene: Matt Walker ~ LOST RAGAS
It’s said that Christmas comes but once a year. And often – that’s enough for some. But someone – somewhere – has been very, very nice and Santa (in the form of Raised By Eagles’ Luke Sinclair wearing a dodgy red onesie and hat) has repaid both the favour and behaviour with the announcement of not one – but two – very special Raised By Eagles shows to help you celebrate Christmas in salubrious style and excellent company.

Snap Scene: Don Broco – Corner Hotel – Friday 8th December 2017
DON BROCO are quite clearly aiming for the stars leaving a trail of sold out venues in the UK in their wake. In November this year they headlined a 10,000 capacity venue in London but Australian fans got to witness their bombastic live show for the very first time this December in intimate surroundings.

Q&A Scene: Jonathan Joseph ~ PROJECT MAMA EARTH
Preparation is overrated. Impulse is everything. Such was the rebellious wisdom that drove the sessions for Project Mama Earth’s astonishing debut EP. In June 2017, five world-renowned musicians met in Devon England for a high-wire act unique in modern music.
They had no songs. No chord charts. No game plan. No safety net. Nothing, in fact, but a plan to play and catch the sparks.
